Just Add Ink #401

How about a sketch challenge? We have a great one for you at Just Add Ink! Take a look at this weeks fabulous sketch:

I’ve stayed away from a floral stamp set – just to prove to myself that I can! Florals will always be my first choice when I sit down to create a card. This week I’ve chosen to create a fun birthday card with candles. The candles and sentiment I’ve used are from Stampin’ Up!s Picture Perfect Birthday. The inks I’ve used for my candles are – Pool Party, Bermuda Bay, Calypso Coral and Lemon Lime Twist.

The Pool Party Cardstock in the background is stamped with the confetti like stamp in Bermuda Bay Ink. Initially I just had the cardstock uninked, but it looked a tad plain to me. I kind of think it looks like a DSP and was able to match the colours in the candles. This card would be a good card for a class as it can show your class that you can create a card without buying DSP to match. I added some Pool Party Bakers Twine and some Gold Sequin Trim under my circle layer to give my card a fullness and details that I like to give my cards.

Here’s my card:
